A versatile piece that can never go wrong, the Denim Shirt has resurrected from the ashes again . The celebs weren’t far from trying their hands on the trend and we love how they decided to wear their denim shirts! Need more insight on the same? Here’s how you can wear it this summer:

Style Tip 1: Wear your denim separates together for a head to toe denim look. For instance, team up a dark wash skinny jean with a light & faded denim shirt. Tuck it in with a black or a metallic belt or a chunkyneckpiece to wear it in a casual way.

Style Tip 2: Dressing up or down, denims can work wonders both ways. Team a denim shirt with a skirt . Add some metallic jewellery/accessories to rock a denim-look at night.

“You should dress up like a girl”, she said for the nth time as I stood in my shorts and Tee, trying very hard not to roll my eyes.

“I AM a girl; I have long hair”, I concluded. Well that part was true,I did have long hair!

“Try looking like one sometimes”,she mocked,brandishing the eye-liner in her hand like a weapon of mass destruction.

“Come, lets try it on you”.

Uh-oh. Now this couldn’t be good.Let me be clear.I have nothing against eye-liners or nail paints(including the fact that several times I can’t tell them apart and consequences follow.) like this one time when I very confidently put a “different black lipstick”, only to find out that it was a kohl stick! Needless to say, I had to roam around with a slightly “different “ lip color for the next two days. Hence my experiences(I have had several) put me in a phobia of cosmetics. So “ lets try it on you” kind of kills. However unable to find a feasible way to run or the voice to protest, I sat down. After about an eternity of “dont shake”s and “stay still”s, I was left sitting there, waiting for the crap to dry. Now the thing with patience is that it lives a short life, especially in this story,and so when I opened my eyes, I looked straight out of a Ramsay horror film. No amount of rubbing takes that off your face, let me tell you. Only after I turned my face into the likes of a “dhobi ghaat” did I manage to look a little normal. And hence a resolution was derived: STAY AWAY FROM THE MUCK.

Having had that experience, anyone would have killed the make up artist or tossed. But I thought “what the hell”, n hence the next part. Now let me enlighten the less informed of you about short dresses:

1) 1)They make you look good(depending still)

2) 2) If you stand under a fan, you become a living replica of Marlyn Monroe(not the good parts)

3) 3) Don’t even think about jumping

4) 4) You have no option but to be at your “lady-like” best!

So when on a very unfortunate day I wore something of the kind, 2),3) & 4) happened. About 1), I cant say nothing. Well I tried, but its difficult to be ladylike, and hence very conveniently and less than 8 hours later, I was back to my shorts clad jumping stairs self. As far as “looking like a girl” is concerned, well, I DO have long hair!!
